Complesso monumentale di Santa Sofia, Medieval monastery complex in Salerno, Italy.
The Santa Sofia complex extends over three levels connected by a vaulted staircase, featuring barrel-vaulted halls and a long corridor on the second floor.
Founded in the 10th century as a Benedictine monastery, the complex became a Jesuit residence in 1592 and later housed Carmelite fathers until 1778.
Inside the church, decorative stucco elements, geometric majolica floors, and marble altars demonstrate the evolution of religious art through centuries.
The monastery complex includes exhibition spaces and hosts cultural events throughout the year in the center of Salerno.
Recent renovations revealed a 13th-century window with interlaced patterns on the wall facing Via Trotula de Ruggiero.
